Some court documents were brought up by some unknown entities claiming that John R. Jakobson (a late financier) is Marina’s real father. Do keep in mind that he is Maggie Wheeler’s (also an actress) father. It was due to some documentation and Jakobson being rich because Marina wasn’t mentioned in any of his wills.
